Los Perros del Mal engaged in a violent brawl with Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano during a Lucha Libre AAA event today [1].
The confrontation signals a peak in a rivalry centered on the AAA Mega Championship, currently held by Mysterio, and a quest for dominance over El Grande Americano [2, 5].
The clash occurred in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, during the go-home show for the Verano de Escandalo event [3]. This buildup follows a series of targeted attacks, including a beatdown of El Grande Americano on June 20, 2026 [2].
To counter the aggression from Los Perros del Mal, El Grande Americano sought reinforcements. On July 11, 2026, Mysterio and Damian Priest appeared alongside him during an AAA on FOX broadcast to challenge the group [4].
The volatility of the feud has intensified as the promotion prepares for the main event of Verano de Escandalo, scheduled for July 19, 2026 [1]. The event is described as a three-week event [3].
While some reports indicated an earlier ambush occurred in Merida, the most recent escalations have centered on the preparations in San Luis Potosí [2, 3]. The rivalry has evolved from a series of isolated strikes into a full-scale war between the championship holder and the reforming Perros del Mal faction.
“Los Perros del Mal targeted the AAA Mega Championship held by Dominik Mysterio.”
This escalation suggests that AAA is positioning the AAA Mega Championship as the central focal point for its summer programming. By integrating high-profile names like Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest into a feud with the legendary Los Perros del Mal brand, the promotion is leveraging cross-border appeal to increase the stakes of the Verano de Escandalo event.
